Revealed: next year's round-by-round football league fixtures

Dublin will begin the defence of their league title away to Monaghan on Sunday, January 27, 2019.

The dust has barely settled on the Sky Blues’ amazing four-in-a-row All-Ireland achievement and already thoughts are turning to the new year.

The Irish Independent has revealed the provisional fixture list for next year’s Allianz football leagues and the Farney County are scheduled to play host to Jim Gavin’s all-conquering side on the opening day.

The Dubs have been handed four away trips, they will also be on the road against Kerry, Roscommon and Cavan while they will face Galway, Mayo and Tyrone in Croke Park.
